Synopsis by Tracie Cooper

When Christian and Sean operate on a beautiful South American immigrant who claimed she wanted her massive breast implants removed, Escobar(Robert La Sardo), a ruthless Columbian drug lord, interrupts the surgery. After revealing he had been using the grotesquely large breast implants to transport liquid heroin into the United States (by tricking poverty-stricken women into believing a modeling contract is waiting for them in America if they went through with the augmentation), he forces Christian and Sean to finish the surgery and hand over the implants at gunpoint. Once the deal is over, Escobar blackmails the doctors into performing the same procedure on more women. Meanwhile, Sophia is kicked out of Julia's fitness center after a particularly judgmental acquaintance of Julia makes a stink about the presence of a transsexual. After finding out that Gina(Jessalyn Gilsig), an ex-lover, is carrying his child, Christian asks her to move in with him so that he can help take care of her throughout the pregnancy.
